If you have multiple children with diabetes, sub-accounts allow you to pay just once at the
parent account level, and this pays for all the sub-accounts underneath it.
It's just one way we help keep the cost down for families with diabetes.
You can also easily switch between accounts using the ManageBGL.com portal. Note:
The PredictBGL App is designed for one patient - it's not designed to switch
between multiple patients. If you do need to switch between multiple patients, you
need to log out first, then restart the app, then login as the new patient.

Another advantage of sub-accounts is that children do not need an email address.
When your child is old enough to have their own email address,
please contact us to add an email address to the account.

Setup

You can’t easily work out your correction ratio if you’re doing both carbs and
correction at the same time. So you need to start with a good BG before a meal (ie no correction),
and get the carb ratio right first.

To get the correction ratio, do a correction at least 2 hours after eating, and 2 hours before eating again
ie no eating or other insulins 2 hours either side.

Think of it like a science experiment – only change one thing at a time!

Yes. PredictBGL has an insulin on board feature which is calculated using the time the fast-acting
insulin was injected, the Active Insulin time and the size of the dose. If BG
has been entered, an insulin stacking warning is shown if there is enough insulin on board
to cause a low blood sugar if a dose is rounded up.
Note: Active Insulin NEVER includes basal insulins.

If basal modelling is turned off, then no amount of basal entries will affect the predictions.
Please read the manual for how to setup this advanced mode (basal modeling mode).
Note: We DO NOT recommend this mode until you have been using PredictBGL for 2 weeks.

Check that the calculator is switched on under Settings\Dosing\Enable Insulin Calculator.
If the calculator is already enabled and you’re still having the same issue,
please send us a screenshot of your dosing screen.

If Apple Health is enabled and you use a food App, carbs, protein, fat and fiber will
be tallied over the last 15 minutes (if there is more than one entry) and defaulted automatically
every time you open the Add Log screen. Also, when you manually add food data to PredictBGL,
it automatically places it into Health.

Blood sugars from Apps such as Dexcom, Spike, MiaoMiao and
LinkBluCon allow
PredictBGL to both dose from and predict with the latest blood sugar readings, without double-entry.

Exercise data from Apps such as Nike, Strava, allow PredictBGL to predict with accurate exercise data, without double-entry.

Normally this step is done when you install PredictBGL.
To fix it afterwards, first open the Apple Health App.
Go to Data Sources, and choose PredictBGL. Set all data types to Allow.
Check that PredictBGL is enabled for Apple Health, under Settings\Health, Dexcom, NightScout\Health.
Next, you need to ensure you actually have data in Health. So in the Health App, browse to the data type you are expecting
to see in PredictBGL, e.g. carbs or blood glucose. Check that there are values within the last 4 hours.

PredictBGL can read Lose It food data, as well as nutrition data from any food app.
The food app needs to log data to Apple Health from where PredictBGL will read it automatically
without double-entry.

First of all, the food app puts data into Apple Health.
Then, PredictBGL reads the data from Health, including carbs, protein, fat and fiber.
When you press [+ Add], PredictBGL adds the recent Health data to the logger, and a
dose is calculated automatically.

Dexcom, Freestyle Libre and other devices

Dexcom is configured in our PredictBGL.com website --- just choose Logs from the main menu
then click Live Dexcom. Once you've entered your Dexcom username and password,
you can Start and Stop the Dexcom integration.
You need at least 1 follower, even if it is just a secondary email account that
you have set up for yourself. Without this, Dexcom’s systems won’t bother pushing your
data across to the ‘Share’ services which is where PredictBGL gets it from.

Note: Dexcom Share is limited to 5 followers. If you have 5 followers, please remove one.
Once in PredictBGL, can use PredictBGL's share to unlimited followers - and not just blood sugars!

Open Dexcom app on mobile device. If not installed, download from Apple App Store.

Log in to Dexcom App (or create account and log in)

Hold iPhone/iPad in Portrait mode, and click on “Share” in upper right corner.

Be sure Sharing status is turned on. If you are already sharing, but there are issues with PredictBGL,
try adding a second follower. The second follower can be yourself, using a different email account.
